    Study Notes

    Electric Circuits and Current

    • Electric current is expressed in amperes (A), with 1 ampere equal to 1 coulomb per second.

    The Role of Switches

    • A switch in an electric circuit functions to control the flow of electric current by opening or closing the circuit.

    Effects of a Broken Circuit

    • When a circuit is broken, the electric current stops flowing.

    Flow of Charges in a Torch

    • The flow of charges in a torch is provided by a battery, which enables the bulb to glow.

    Components of an Electric Circuit

    • An electric circuit consists of a conductor, such as a wire, a source of voltage (e.g., a battery), and a device that uses the electric energy (e.g., a light bulb).
